Game Drives
Game drives in Lake Mburo tend to be quite gentle. Although there is plenty of wildlife, there are no major predators, except for leopards. The game drives give an opportunity to take in the spectacular scenery of rolling hills, and the five lakes that make up the park. Large numbers of herbivores tend to congregate at the lakes and swamps, making for excellent wildlife viewing.

The Dry season months of June to September and December to February makes wildlife viewing easy as the animals gather around the water holes, the lake and swamps to quench their thirst.
During the Wet season months of November and March to May the animals can be seen grazing in the valleys and fields.
